Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

today:

abs/legs

standing lat pd crunches 70x15/4
reverse hypers x10/4
roller work
lying leg curls 60x10 70x10 80x10 90x10 100x10/4(all done for forced negatives)
leg press 1 90x25 180x25 270x25 360x25 450x25 540x25 (non stop constant tension)
machine leg press 200x20 280x15(x5) 320x10(x10) 360x5(x15) (second numb is dead stop reps)
reverse lunges 35x10/3 bw x 40 yards into reverse lunges x10 with body weight only. (had a hard time with balance and kept knocking my knee on the floor, so i improvised some pre fatigue with bodyweight)
db stiff leg deads 65x10/3
stretched out hips and lower back immediately after stiff leg

done for the day. knees and back are both super achy and painful today. so nothing silly to write home about numbers wise. i did get a freaking nasty nasty pump but i had to be very easy not to injure anything. i would still consider today a very good session either way. i opted to do some serious stretching post workout to make sure nothing tightened down really bad on me. last cheat today as i go into full bore prep style mode. i am gunning for the masters nationals and i am actively training and depleting down for it. only thing that is holding back right now is the finances to fund the trip. it is very very expensive and i had a major road block this year that i didnt have budgeted in. we are still going for it wide open though either way.

done for the day. another great session today and we flew through it. all sets were done as soon as my partner went so it got knocked out literally in just over an hour. the pump was freaking brutal and surprisngly no huffing and puffing going on at all my training partner on the other hand was a different story haha. he may be down for the count for the remainder of the day and was on the verge of puking the entire workout. i love these fast past kill someone else sessions that dont in turn completely kill me. so again another indicator that both my cardio and muscle endurance is on freaking point.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

some say you can go at it with just lowering down and reducing cals but i have found it best to pull it down my way. on the first zero day you still have a bit of glycogen in the tank but by the end of day 2 you are running off of pure fat or at least very very close to it. not to mention, this doesnt give your body the option of adapting because it is always changing. i think that's what you are asking. or if you are saying could you spread the carbs out a bit more and just decrease smaller amounts through each day. i dont see why not. i just try to keep mine around training and at the begining of the day when i can. hell man their are about a million ways to diet and get lean but no kidding this is the smoothest and least painful that i have found that you never get used to. you may have to make minor adjustments here and there but other than that you can go for 6 months and not stall out. i have done that before myself

done for the day. great session today. the pump was extra extra stupid. i didnt move that crazy of weight today but the whole goals was just to drive in as much blood as possible as fast as possible. it was very very painful for sure and i was hobbled and my legs were giving out after wards. so another successful day in. i am adding in pics below. the detail when they arent pumped is just plain silly, my side glutes are already feathered and the lines are going very deep. cant really see it in the pics but cold or just slightly warmed up is pretty nasty. i am very happy with the progress so far. i am currently sitting at 263-265 on an empty stomach right now

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Question guns, regarding your dieting portion of this log. When your doing a carb cycle and cut back on carbs every 2 days. I see you keep protein the same, have carbs the same per meal and just the carbs out of 1 meal every 2 days until you hit zero for 2 days.
Is it critical to have those extra zero carb meals or can you just reduced carbs per meal and hit the same numbers at the end of the day.
Hope this makes sense, thanks
